Empowering language learners with life skills for work and higher education

Developing life skills is an ongoing process, and the English language classroom is particularly suited to facilitating their growth. Learning an additional language already involves many of the identified life competencies, such as communication, collaboration, and critical thinking, which are indispensable at a workplace or university. This webinar shares how we can incorporate life competencies into language lessons to ensure our learners are ready for success in higher education and the world of work.

Being a teenager can be a challenge!: 5 things to know about developing vital life skills in teens

While our goal, first and foremost, as language teachers is of course about developing our students’ language and communicative competencies, we are often faced with situations in teenage classrooms when other (emotional) issues get in the way. In this webinar Herbert Puchta first looked at key research findings into resilience – the ability to adapt to and successfully deal with challenges and stressful situations. He then presented a range of practical ideas and strategies that help build resilience in teenage students, and exemplified those using examples from Think 2nd edition.
